When You Were Mine

CD reissue. Former Babys and Bad English frontman John Waite wrote his sixth album from many different backgrounds. From the harsh and strong 'Suicide Life' to the upbeat country twanging of 'I95', Waite can turn his hand to anything. Be warned, many of the songs are like new shoes, they need to be walked-in gently and with care, but you are rewarded if you persevere with an original rendition of Dylan's 'Just Like A Woman' and then onto the more lyrical, acoustical tracks of 'Bluebird Café' about a waitress who is going be a star one day, 'Valentine' and 'I-95', a fast paced tune about starting over and how great it is to be alive! 'When You Were Mine', the title track, is a trip down memory lane with your old flame.
